Ohhh, that's it. It is on purpose btw, only the frames called by the sequencer (pattern matrix) are saved in the module file. It was added WAY back when the format was optimized and smaller module filesizes needed. I don't think it is important, the format is pretty light this way and I'm very proud of it (the other way you can have a 1 second song with a size of 300mb only on unused patterns )

I know FT saves ALL patterns, even unused ones in the module file, I think this is incorrect so say the least.

hmm, ok, I'll try to remember this when making songs but I think it's pretty dangerous. I often end up creating patterns I want to reuse later in the song but don't know when, and I add them in a later session work when I've reorganised everything. Isn't it like everyone is doing?

If those patterns are not saved, I'll loose my previous work. So I'll need to keep them anyway at the end of the song and the w.i.p. will sound kinda strange...

On milkytracker there is a "optimise song" which will remove all unused pattern, you can use this when you're sure your song is finished to be certain not to keep those nasty 10 kb patterns which will clutter your final module

I also think generally people will export to for example .sid or .nsf so it doesn't matter if the source in .dmf is slightly bigger.

Ok here is a pre-release for Windows of the version 10d, so far it has this small news:- More precise fine tune effect (E5xx)- Fixed the position of the Edit Keys window on small screens- Game Boy: More accurate volume of the WAVE channel.- The DefleMask logo is back but on the right side and smaller than in previous versions. I missed it a lot!- Lot of code cleaning and fixed some possible crashes.- Manual Updated.-- YM2151 coming soon.

It is important for me to have feedback from those people that were suffering crashes, I debuged a lot the tracker and I need to confirm that nobody is suffering from strange shutdowns.Also, I saw lot of people using the default_classic skin, do you like it more than the solid colors one?, I can bring it back as the default one again.

Cool! YM2151! I'm a bit more of a believer than I was previously, so I'm gonna run down a few things I noticed.1. There's no icon for operator algorithms, which isn't so bad for me, having memorized them, but new users could be confused. That's an obvious and easy fix.2. There's no DT2 or LFO speed or wave controllers. These were the main two things that set the chip apart from the YM2612 for me, so these DEFINITELY need to be in there.3. There's no sound. At least not for me. All the other chips play sound, but not this one! This could be just a problem for me, though, so someone let me know if it's like this for you. Plus, the only demo song there is won't play! I got the corrupted file message.

Ok guys I have a little problem here: The YM2151 don't work as the rest of soundchips regarding to how the frequency is setted.

On the rest of soundchip I have only to set the freq number, for example, 23481714. The YM2151 has a OCTAVE + KEY CODE + KEY FRACTION. I really DON'T KNOW what that means and there's NO DOCUMENTATION about this.

They mention those Key Code and Key Fraction thing but nobody explains how to work with them.The pre-release is updated, now you can make the YM2151 sound! But I will need help searching how the frequency should be handled here because I'm without any type of information.
